i see the cardinals signing holiday for two more years at say $25 to $26 million, maybe even 3/$33 mil. team friendly, maybe but it will allow him to stay where he wants to be. as solid as his big contract has been, we need a better #3 hitter to really help our chances. he doesn’t really need the money after all and IS NOT a three hole hitter, hasn’t been for a few years.
Gogerty
Would be best for both sides.
Lanidrac
Maybe starting in 2018, as they may just pick up the option year first. In today’s marketplace, $17M isn’t bad for what he still provides.
However, yeah the 3-hole isn’t really the best spot for him anymore. Probably next year if not sooner we’ll see Piscotty take that spot instead.
Lance
“he really doesn’t need the money”. LOL maybe he SHOULDN’T need the money but I don’t know his financial situation. besides, it’s the market that determines salary. if someone feels Matt is worth another big contract and he enjoys playing, he’s going to take it and why not?
